Diagnostic test for the rapid detection of the acetate esterase activity of Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis and other microorganisms. Description: • INDOXYLstrip is a test for the detection of the acetate esterase activity of microorganisms. The test is based on the reaction of free indoxyl groups with oxygen, which results in a colour change. Acetate esterase activity is present e.g. in Campylobacter spp., and in Branhamella catarrhalis. The test is suitable for screening examinations and for the suspect microbial colonies identification. • Shelf life: 24 months. Application: • Microbiological diagnostic test for rapid identification of acetate esterase activity of Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis, and other microorganisms. Brief assay procedure: 1. After the 18-24 h growth, wipe several bacterial colonies from a Petri dish using the active paper zone of the diagnostic strip. 2. Read the result after 3- 5 min. 3. Evaluate results.
